Message to Parents

Sending your child off to college can be a bit scary. You may be thinking "will they be OK?", "will they make it?", "will they hold onto the things we've taught them?", "will they make good choices?". These are important questions that we understand. Our counselors recognize the challenges facing today's student and are here to help and support your child.

Our professionally trained staff, all committed Christian therapists, are here to serve in any way that we can. If you notice your son or daughter struggling with college adjustment, or perhaps from a series of difficulties present even before coming to Houghton, do not hesitate to suggest a visit to our office.
